No matter how much effort you put in protest, education. Things will never change. This is INDIA.

You don't look, eat, talk, walk like Indians. Get OVER it and try to MOVE on.

Either you get independence from India or suffer the consequence like this for living in India.

A Naga lawyer and others were assaulted on court premises

A large number of Northeast residents of the Capital
took out a protest march to the Bar Council of India office here on
Tuesday against the alleged molestation of a Naga woman lawyer last week
by a lawyer and the subsequent assault on her friends and counsel by
advocates at the Tis Hazari court.

So far, the police
have registered two different cases. While Inder Narain, accused of
molestation, was immediately arrested and subsequently released on bail,
other lawyers, who allegedly thrashed those accompanying the victim
during her court appearance last Friday, have not been arrested yet.

The
protesters included various groups representing the Northeastern
residents of the city and were supported by the Jawaharlal Nehru Union
Students’ Union activists.

Blaming the police for
inaction in the assault case, the students said it was because of the
police’s attitude the attackers are roaming free. They also questioned
the Delhi Police on some of the recent promises made to the people from
the community.

Alleging that such actions by lawyers
compromised the sanctity of the law, the protesters demanded that the
BCI suspend the licence to practise of the accused.

Describing how the events in the court room panned out on the day of the
incident, Maivio J. Woba, president of the Naga Students’ Union of
Delhi, who was one of the victims, said they were chased down on the
court premises and beaten up without any provocation.

The
protesters were initially stopped a few metres away from the BCI office
and after a discussion with the policemen present there, were allowed
to go till the main gate. Finally, some of the representatives went
inside and submitted a memorandum to the BCI office bearers. The BCI
representatives assured them that their demands would be looked into.
